Lifted is Quaking up over here!

Damn now I'm hungry for steak, maybe Wednesday, today is turkey tacos and tomorrow is healthy pizza since I want lots of carbs for soccer, so probably steak and beans Wednesday!

Used some stimmed Quake for today's posterior split, had me amped up to the gills, I love it.

Deadlifts:
WU: 135x12
225x12
235x12
235x10
275x10

I know those numbers ain't exactly impressive but I'm working on slow and controlled reps for maximum muscle fiber recruitment. Want to gain slowly​ but surely.

Leg adduction/abduction machine superset:
250x12
255x12
260x12
265x12

Dumbell shrug/cable rope shrug superset:
80EHx12/65x12
90EHx12/70x12
100EHx10/70x15
85EHx15/80x10

Did some ab work, but we all know that's boring AF lol so last was my single leg press/seated calf raise superset:

200x12/245x12
200x12/245x12
220x12/245x15
220x12/245x12

And so that's how it went.

Last bit of info today was I may have finally found a non-invasive procedure to fix my foot!!! Spent the first part of day in Cleveland meeting with an excellent Dr who should be able to fix my Morton's Neuroma, which is great considering I've had this God awful curse over a year now lol.

Weighed in at 169 this morning. I had a massive cheat meal Saturday so my caloric average for last week would be around 2500-2600. Sunday I was lax with my measurements on chicken and baked potato dinner lol.

Either way going to try to stick around 2600 cals for this week's average.

That's it for now, hopefully be doing a before/after update for Wednesday's Back&Bis session with the Quake Stim Free.
 
Hell yeah, I can't wait to see what kind of pump and focus I get off it.
 
Round 2, let's do this!Invalid Link Removed
 
What's up guys?! Have some crazy before/after pictures from last night's back and bis session.

So Quake stim free did not disappoint!
Mixed perfectly, no film, no foam, no grit. Very happy with that.
Flavor was great, began feeling effects about 10-15 minutes after taking it.

The wife and I were having a lil verbal domestic yesterday before the gym so my focus wasn't great during the workout itself, will have to give you a better review on that next session.

Pump and endurance was sick, most of my workout was spent doing supersets and I was going hard, very little rest time between sets.

So without further adieu here is the session:
Wide grip lat pull down:
100x12 wu
120x15
140x12
160x10
140x13

Low pulley rope row/seated preacher curls
70x15/50+bar x15
75x12/50+bar x12
80x12/50+bar x10
65x15/50+bar x12

Seated low cable row/iso-hammer curls
140x15/30 dumbbell x12
160x12/30 dumbbell x12
180x10/35 dumbbell x12
200x10/25 dumbbell x15

Bent over barbell row/straight bar curls
135x15/75x12
135x15/75x12
155x12/65x15
165x12/65x10

Drop set dumbbells:
35, 30, 25, 20. Didn't count reps just went until failure.

Finally, check out the difference in preworkout photo as opposed to post workout photo, size difference is sick!

Shoulders day:

Seated dumbbell military press:

130#x12
130#x10
120x10
100x15

40x12x4 sets

Facepull/seated military barbell press superset:
65x15/135x12
70x12/135x12
80x12/135x12
70x15/115x15

Lateral raise finisher:
40x12
40x12
50x10

Still loving Quake, does not keep me up at all past bedtime in the evening, highly recommended so far!

Damn you rocked the stim version last night? God bless your soul!

Naw last night's sesh was on the stim free...today's is my last packet of the stimmed... bittersweet, especially since it's legs lol...

This week will be all over the place for pre workouts.

Monday: (2p)solo chest/Tris abs session after work, going to run 2 scoops of Isatori PWR V2

Tuesday: will be soccer (6p) with Xtend Perform then legs/deadlifts (7p) Quake Stim free

Wednesday: (5p) back/bis Quake stim free.

Thursday: (2p)solo happy birthday to me shoulder session with Gat PMP

Friday: chest (unk time) final Gat PMP packet most likely

Saturday: legs at some point with pull ups and abs; unk pre.

Sunday: fishing, probably going to sip Xtend throughout​ the day

I've taken off Friday and Saturday, so definitely not a normal week for me, but my log will return to more consistency the week after that.
 
Im hitting legs at 4 PM If you are there I will need you for a dropset, and to also make sure I don't die or get buried in the process
 
I'll be there at 2p if I'm still around by then I'll give you a hand no problem.
 
The Solution, we just dipped out but that big goofy **** Matt was walking in and he'll be able to help you commit suicide on that drop set.
 
Here you go..

Next time you train legs.. If you dare to join :)

Got soccer and deadlifts tonight so update tomorrow.
 
Brandinooooo said:
How on earth are you doing both of those on the same day? I think I would die. I hope your at least doing the soccer first.
Click to expand...
Lol yeah, Soccer first plus Xtend Perform, Quake as soon as I leave field and then high rep deads.
 
Hey guys just short little update​.

So last night was soccer, deads, and I threw in a bit of leg isolation.

Not only was indoor soccer field hot AF but so was the gym last night. Both buildings had to be in the 90s* so my performance, even with the Xtend Perform and Quake stim free was a bit lacking.

Soccer I played nearly the whole time, took a break in the first half when my shoe lace came untied and I figured I could grab a breather on the bench.

The towards end of second half just because I was drenched in sweat.

Got to gym and started a deads set. Really focusing on form and speed of reps so weight was nothing major.

135x12 Wu
275x10x3
245x15

Moved over to leg presses and hit 4 sets of single leg presses. One each leg and then 1 both legs counted as a set.

200x12 each leg plus 12 both legs x 4 sets

Weight is sitting around 172, 2600 cals/day with some cheat days sprinkled in on weekend.

Going to stay at 2600/day until June, try to be stricter next week, this week I'm doing some birthday partying, cake, pizza, and I'm allowing myself 1 night of a bit of booze.

Been between 168-172 weight fluctuations all this month and I'm only increasing calories to 2700/day next month to try to keep gains as lean as possible.
 
How was :
Energy
Pump
Performance
Endurance

if you could just highlight those areas each workout that would be perfect.

What time did you Train? Dude I could not even take off my shirt after back last night. i was SOAKED, and you know I always train in a hoodie. I am heading in around 1 today because I have late night clients today.

If you need some nutrition help.. My email address is always open brother. Thats what I do for a living :)

Even with playing soccer before hand I still had energy to hit it up. Would have probably done some more leg isolation too if the wife didn't want to get home.

I was training around 7:00

I didn't notice much pumps during my deads but then again I was trying not to die of heat stroke.

When I was doing the leg presses there was definitely some blood in the thighs. Blew up pretty good.

Performance was off from the sweating, I was pretty drained.

Endurance, even after soccer, like I said was there, just didn't have to time to really push it.

As for my nutrition I know my body pretty well. Any issues that arise in my weight gain or loss is due to me not being strict enough. I'm an Endomorph but I have the appetite of an ectomorph.
 
Alright gang, birthday activities all finished up. Only got a chance to use Quake once last week.

Noticed right off the bat on lat pull down a deeper mind-muscle connection to lats.

Got great pumps in back as well as biceps.

Feel like I'm getting stronger on lat pull downs as well as pull ups so may have to start adding on some plates.

Lat pull down/seated elbow supported iso hammer curls:
100x10 Wu/20sx12 WU
120x12/25sx12
140x12/30sx10
160x10/30sx10
125x15/35sx10

Seated low cable row/preacher curls
160x12/25s x12
180x10/25s x12
180x10/30s x10
180x10/30s x10

Low cable rope rows/standing barbell curls
80x12x4/75x12x4

Rope lat pull downs/seated preacher curl HS machine
45x12x4/55x12x4

Still feeling great pumps.
Product tastes great every scoop and mixes perfectly, have no noticed any clumping or grittiness since opening the tub.
Endurance has been excellent, I think the humidity in the gym can attest to the value of this products intensity, I can still hit my workouts hard even though I'm sweating my face off! Lol

That's all for now, had a great weekend. Saw Alien Covenant, it was pretty great, lots of action and gore. Went fishing, no muskie yet but the season is young, and cheated on my diet, a lot...lol back to a cleaner bulk now though.
 
Back to it the last few days, spent Thursday in Cleveland due to final surgical screenings.

Wednesday (back/bis) Friday (shoulders)

Really loving the pump and intensity I can hit with Quake.

My lats seem strong as hell and I really feel mind muscle connecting when I'm on it. To test the theory if my performance is calorie related or pre related I did two back sessions this week, one fasted and one fed. Noticed the same levels of intensity and focus. Lat pull down numbers have jumped considerably since last week and pull ups went from 4 sets of 8 to 4 sets of 10. And these are strict form pull ups, no kipping bull**** WHILE adding weight to my frame on the bulk. (Which has been **** lately, haven't​ been keeping my diet strict (clean) enough to keep gains lean)

Yesterday ran into The Solution. He was on his back day and I was hitting shoulders.

Did some ART pre workout to get loosened up. Shoulders have been super tight.

Had Quake in my shaker and attacked the weights way harder than I thought I'd be able to. Really think I'm getting some good feedback from my delts which has definitely been the goal for this bulk.

Best part about Quake is that I'm crushing these workouts and still sleeping like a baby after I get home. Really need that good, deep sleep to grow. So super glad I got picked for this trial.

Lifting tonight legs (4) to close, nobody ever in there
I train before close on Sunday too, again nobody in there. usually more crowded in the morning, and its nice to get a few meals in me on Sunday before training. 1-3 Chest and Shoulders
 
I hear ya, nice open gym to yourself. Usually hit legs Saturday but I won't be off work till 6pm
 
Haven't done a progress pic in awhile but wife snapped some pics of me doing lateral raise finishers yesterday.Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
 
Thanks dude, trying to grow muscles without growing my gut!

Food is too good, especially the goodies you always torture me with on Instagram!
 
What's up man!! Look at you looking all lean and mean. Def got that atheistic cut up summer look going on. Last time I saw a pic of you, you ran andro1&4 on a bulk and looked think and juicy, lol. We did the same thing, I hit 195, but I'm around 178 now :/ I feel like I lost to much ass, trying to put some back on, but I'm cut up!
 
I lost everything after PCT, I was hella disappointed. So now I'm going on a long natty bulk. But glad to see you dude, glad you're still crushing it!
 
Dang man, did you scale back your food or something? Supprised you didn't keep some of those gains. At least with a long natty bulk you know the gains are going to stick with you.
 
I kept at maintenance with PCT and then slowly cut. I was pissed. Found my liver levels were jacked afterwards too, so I don't think I can go enhanced, even with just Andros, with my current meds.... ****ing blows

Dang dude, that sucks. If I recall you had on-cycle and everything. Guess whatever meds you were/are taking had a bad reaction with the andros. I discovered that I don't respond well to andro 1. I'm trying 19&epi for the first time, and can already tell a difference (positive that is).
 
Yeah I ran thorough cycle support during and natty anabolics in post.
 
Yesterday was just a short deadlift season.
I have been exhausted lately, crashing on the couch like seconds after getting home, luckily Quake is keeping me honest in the gym.

I'm getting closer to the bottom of the tub and haven't had any issues​. No clumping is always a good thing, I have to pretty much use my ninja blender to get my OL Conquer ready for consumption or else I'll be chewing clumps lol.

Taste wise the product is still on point and no weirdo smells after being open awhile (you all know how some brands of pre get that cat piss smell after being opened).

So strength gains and pump still awesome. Was working lower weight as I'm trying to get better hook grip strength. Have heard stories of mixed group leading to imbalances and injury but I haven't had any problems.

I got bored repping 225 with hook grip after 3 sets though so did 315 for 7 and 345 for 4 to finish out.

Did feel like leaving quite that early though so I hit some dumbbell shrugs and low cable shrugs along with an work.

Think I'll take some before/after photos of chest tonight using Quake to get you guys some good reference of the pumps in action.

Overall lifts continue to go up. Bulk was going a little too well, currently sitting in the 180s so I'm trying to get back to a more modest calorie excess.
 
Amanda straight got you on film and marketed those deadlifts on the real IG Page....
You must be paying her under the table to make you famous :)
